Az eq6gt or eq6-r pro

Hi,


I was looking at getting a SkyWatch EQ6-R mount with a 250 tube for visual and imaging use. I'm able to get a display AZ EQ6GT for a couple hundred cheaper. Are these a better mount having the AZ mode? I believe you can also put a second scope in ALT AZ mode? Some opinions would be great.


Also would this mount be OK for a 250 tube, guide scope, cameras, etc or would the equipment be to heavy for astrophotography? Any assistance would be great, I'm also planning on fixing the mount to a pier once I build my observatory. This may help to keep it stable.


Cheers
Rod
